Neck Tattoos

I’m not really a big fan of any tattoos, but I can at least understand most of them. I totally get it if you need to show off your love of tribal art on your arm, or honour your family on your chest, or have some light bible reading on your calf. Those tattoos make sense to me. What I don’t get are neck tattoos. The only thing your neck should do is connect your head to your body; that’s it. Your neck doesn’t need to be original. Your neck shouldn’t have “personality.” No one’s ever said, “Yeah, they’ve got an alright face, body, and personality but their neck is just so . . . meh.” The worst part about neck tattoos is that unlike other tattoos, the only way to cover them up is by wearing a turtleneck, which is probably the only thing that looks stupider than a neck tattoo.

Other Drivers

Ok, let me preface: I love driving. I don’t write poems, go shopping, or run for miles to de-stress, I drive. But every dumbfuck with or without a license has to ruin it up for me. You know what’s not fun? Getting smashed into by some cro-magnon updating their twitter: “lawl, driving #notwell #illegal #FUPOPO.” It’s these same people who get the cars that can park themselves and come tricked out like KITT from Knight Rider. Your car shouldn’t double as your brain, nor should it have higher IQ than you. You know what I miss? When the most distracting thing people did while driving was smoking, and when the cigarette lighter was used for lighting cigarettes, not to plug in someone’s phone so they can text while they plow their Hummer into me.

New immunotherapy treatment provides hope for aggressive cancer

News Peak Web -
By: Lucaiah Smith-Miodownik, News Writer Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are often recognized as the three most common forms of cancer treatment. Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society. Immunotherapy seeks to help strengthen the ability to recognize and fight...
